AIBU to think Tattle Life should be shut down following Dr Jessica Taylors forensic research?

[TheWorthySeal]

Dr Jessica Taylor has produced research that has shown tattle life relentlessly bullied, stalked, trolled and harassed a 16 year old child until she took her own life.

Isn't it time it was shut down?

A very brave article on the metro covers it well metro.co.uk/2026/04/18/upset-this-picture-a-young-girl-trolled-stalked-abused-28001760/

Ah that old chestnut.

YABU, some threads on here are much worse than what’s seen on Tattle.

Sophie May Dickinson totally failed her daughter. There were allegations of abuse, the daughter wasn’t living in her home, and she turned her death and funeral into a photoshoot for social media.

It won’t go on much longer, it’s only a couple of lawsuits from being shut down.

This isn’t true though, is it?

People have been saying that for a good 2 years now and it's not happening

Nah, that’s what the influencers with things to hide want you to think, but it’s not happening.

@RoseField1 Yeah that was before the landmark Irish case, the Dickson case, the MPs letter, the ICO investigation + the Online Safety Act.

Some people live their lives with no interface with influencers at all.

They cannot shut down a website in that sense. Just ban its viewing in certain countries.

Very dictatorship.

Also Vpns exist.

Be more concerned with the influ scammers using their babies and children for cash over some hurty words which are aimed at the scammer not the child.

Also guess some people have never read the daily mail comment section either 😂

Mum should never have allowed her child on social media. We need greater protection over children being used as content.

Why are you telling me that?

Nah. Not happening... sorry to disappoint.

You sound very passionate about it all.....were you as passionate when the photos of children were posted in mumsnet?

Id be more worried about Internet safety in regard to that sort of thing..... it certainly doesnt happen in Tattle.

You seemed to need to know.

What? Because I said the website won’t be shut down, you think I don’t realise some people live their lives with no interface with influencers at all? 😵‍💫

@MargoChanningsglass You’re not in the ICO so…

Ahah

Thats what you think...😉

As I’ve said above I am no fan of Tattle and from what I’ve read there are some vicious obsessives on there who rip people apart all day long. But there are also plenty of people on here who do the same.

I’ve read threads where women were blamed for being the victims of DV, others insulted because they wouldn’t take the advice of a stranger immediately and keep everyone updated in live time. Vulnerable women coming on to ask for advice being bullied and verbally kicked for fun by a clique of mean girls who seek to get a thrill from being ‘better’ than others. Exactly like the worst of Tattle. Arguably even worse as they are attacking real people in distress.

Anyone using this site whilst trying to be holier than thou about Tattle is being extremely hypocritical in not accepting that some users behaviour does not equal every users behaviour and if Tattle should be shut down for the behaviour of a minority so should MN.

And fully agree with a PP that ‘Dr’ Jess advocating that women with MH issues stop taking medication or engaging with mainstream psychiatric advice because there’s ’nothing wrong’ with them ‘except’ trauma is extremely dangerous and is preying on vulnerable women. There are people far more qualified than Dr LookAtMe who understand the impact of trauma on MH and how to support people through it. She’s a shameless grifter who has preyed on vulnerable women under the cover of being a victim and wanting to help others like her. The only thing she cares about helping is herself, to as much exposure as she can.

If you are so supportive of the forensic research of the good Dr @TheWorthySeal why haven’t you come back to defend her?

You are sure enough about the validity of her work to counter the negativity surely. Maybe let Jaimi know that her social media strategy still isn’t quite landing. Outside of the small bubble that hails Jess as a hero, there are far many more people with actual qualifications and experience to know an opportunistic conwoman when they see one. That’s not misogyny, or the medical establishment attacking her because they are being threatened or female victims being sidelined because no one cares, or trolling. It’s calling a bullshitter a bullshitter.

Excellent post @Over40Overdating

Just reading the titles of the threads says a lot about some posters, especially on the Daniella Westbrook and Radford threads

Let's check in to this thread in a year and see if it's gone or not.

😆 Jess Taylor, she of the grifty sound baths and flashcards for trauma who thinks Peer-reviewed means a few thumbs up on a substack article? The woman who pretends her dubious, sloppy research qualification makes her a clinical psychologist who works with patients to give her a patina of authority which she uses to dupe people into buying her badly written, self-indulgent, derivative tosh books and funding her and her equally unimpressive wife to do speaking tours in Australia where folk haven't cottoned on like the UK feminist conference circuit did yet?

I couldn't give a shit about tattle, it's a gossip forum just like this one and many more. No one has to read it. In terms of actual, material damage, Grifty Taylor is in another league. Anyone who encourages people to come off prescribed medication and is trying to sell 'an alternative to the DSM' is a dangerous individual.

She’s not at all - there are plenty of really educated people arguing that these medications are being abused and prescribed when they should not be. Joanna Moncrieff for example has strong doubts about the serotonin theory of depression and it really holds up.

what pisses people off who work in this area is she acts like she’s the only one who thinks this and all the people who work in mh are idiots who don’t know any better. They know. But their argument is if someone is suffering because their circumstances are awful, isn’t it kinder to give this medication to ease suffering if you’re honest about that being all it’s doing?

she doesn’t engage with these seriously and thinks she knows best, which is why she loses a lot of support.

Fucking hilarious. This post is written by Jessica Taylor herself, or if not then it's her wife Jaimi.

I used to know them both well and this is 100% Jessica's writing style. It's got to be either her or Jaimi's picked up her turns of phrase.

I notice she's not come back. Not surprising really, as the one thing she really can't cope with is people criticising her and exposing her lies.

These threads (and there have been several now) always over egg the pudding - “forensic ” research, “world renowned psychologist” Jessica Taylor. It’s such a giveaway.

She does not have the qualifications needed to work with patients as a practitioner psychologist.

In the UK, anyone can call themselves a “psychologist.” However, titles like “clinical psychologist” and “forensic psychologist” are legally protected and require specific training and registration. These are referred to as practitioner psychologists.

Jessica has a PhD, which means she is a research psychologist. This does not qualify her to work clinically with patients. To become a clinical or forensic psychologist, you must complete a specialist doctorate, during which you need to show you can safely work with patients (as well as doing doctoral level research).

Jessica has only done the doctoral level research bit. She is charted because she registered with the British psychological society after doing her PhD. This doesn’t have any real benefit and anyone with a PhD in psychology (and any practitioner psychologists) can become chartered.

Anyone can call themselves a psychologist. However, clinical/forensic psychologist is a legally protected title. All practitioner psychologists working with patients need to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Research psychologists don’t.

Research psychologists are not regulated in the same way. This means they are not held to the same standards as clinicians.

It’s possible that this thread was started by her or her wife. Note how she refers to doing “forensic research” (technically legal) instead of referring to herself as a forensic psychologist (not legal). She has historically appeared on a Netflix show with the title of forensic psychologist. However, this is illegal and the show had to change it (despite Jessica reposting it to her socials).

She also claims she’s been reported to her regulatory body (which is false because she doesn’t have one).
